+
+How to Style a Console Command
+==============================
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.7
+    Symfony Styles for console commands were introduced in Symfony 2.7.
+
+One of the most boring tasks when creating console commands is to deal with the
+styling of the command's input and output. Displaying titles and tables or asking
+questions to the user involves a lot of repetitive code.
+
+Consider for example the code used to display the title of the following command::
+
+    // src/AppBundle/Command/GreetCommand.php
+    namespace AppBundle\Command;
+
+    use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Command\ContainerAwareCommand;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;
+
+    class GreetCommand extends ContainerAwareCommand
+    {
+        // ...
+
+        protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
+        {
+            $output->writeln(array(
+                '<info>Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet</>',
+                '<info>==========================</>',
+                '',
+            ));
+
+            // ...
+        }
+    }
+
+Displaying a simple title requires three lines of code, to change the font color,
+underline the contents and leave an additional blank line after the title. Dealing
+with styles is required for well-designed commands, but it complicates their code
+unnecessarily.
+
+In order to reduce that boilerplate code, Symfony commands can optionally use the
+**Symfony Style Guide**. These styles are implemented as a set of helper methods
+which allow to create *semantic* commands and forget about their styling.
+
+Basic Usage
+-----------
+
+In your command, instantiate the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\SymfonyStyle`
+class and pass the ``$input`` and ``$output`` variables as its arguments. Then,
+you can start using any of its helpers, such as ``title()``, which displays the
+title of the command::
+
+    // src/AppBundle/Command/GreetCommand.php
+    namespace AppBundle\Command;
+
+    use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Command\ContainerAwareCommand;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Style\SymfonyStyle;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;
+
+    class GreetCommand extends ContainerAwareCommand
+    {
+        // ...
+
+        protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
+        {
+            $io = new SymfonyStyle($input, $output);
+            $io->title('Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet');
+
+            // ...
+        }
+    }
+
+Helper Methods
+--------------
+
+The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\SymfonyStyle` class defines some
+helper methods that cover the most common interactions performed by console commands.
+
+Titling Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::title`
+    It displays the given string as the command title. This method is meant to
+    be used only once in a given command, but nothing prevents you to use it
+    repeatedly::
+
+        $io->title('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::section`
+    It displays the given string as the title of some command section. This is
+    only needed in complex commands which want to better separate their contents::
+
+        $io->section('Adding a User');
+
+        // ...
+
+        $io->section('Generating the Password');
+
+        // ...
+
+Content Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::text`
+    It displays the given string or array of strings as regular text. This is
+    useful to render help messages and instructions for the user running the
+    command::
+
+        // use simple strings for short messages
+        $io->text('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long messages
+        $io->text(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+            'Aenean sit amet arcu vitae sem faucibus porta',
+        ));
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::listing`
+    It displays an unordered list of elements passed as an array::
+
+        $io->listing(array(
+            'Element #1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Element #2 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Element #3 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+        ));
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::table`
+    It displays the given array of headers and rows as a compact table::
+
+        $io->table(
+            array('Header 1', 'Header 2'),
+            array(
+                array('Cell 1-1', 'Cell 1-2'),
+                array('Cell 2-1', 'Cell 2-2'),
+                array('Cell 3-1', 'Cell 3-2'),
+            )
+        );
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::newLine`
+    It displays a blank line in the command output. Although it may seem useful,
+    most of the times you won't need it at all. The reason is that every helper
+    already adds their own blank lines, so you don't have to care about the
+    vertical spacing::
+
+        // outputs a single blank line
+        $io->newLine();
+
+        // outputs three consecutive blank lines
+        $io->newLine(3);
+
+Admonition Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::note`
+    It displays the given string or array of strings as a highlighted admonition.
+    Use this helper sparingly to avoid cluttering command's output::
+
+        // use simple strings for short notes
+        $io->note('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long notes
+        $io->note(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+            'Aenean sit amet arcu vitae sem faucibus porta',
+        ));
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::caution`
+    Similar to the ``note()`` helper, but the contents are more prominently
+    highlighted. The resulting contents resemble an error message, so you should
+    avoid using this helper unless strictly necessary::
+
+        // use simple strings for short caution message
+        $io->caution('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long caution messages
+        $io->caution(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+            'Aenean sit amet arcu vitae sem faucibus porta',
+        ));
+
+Progress Bar Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::progressStart`
+    It displays a progress bar with a number of steps equal to the argument passed
+    to the method (don't pass any value if the length of the progress bar is
+    unknown)::
+
+        // displays a progress bar of unknown length
+        $io->progressStart();
+
+        // displays a 100-step length progress bar
+        $io->progressStart(100);
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::progressAdvance`
+    It makes the progress bar advance the given number of steps (or ``1`` step
+    if no argument is passed)::
+
+        // advances the progress bar 1 step
+        $io->progressAdvance();
+
+        // advances the progress bar 10 steps
+        $io->progressAdvance(10);
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::progressFinish`
+    It finishes the progress bar (filling up all the remaining steps when its
+    length is known)::
+
+        $io->progressFinish();
+
+User Input Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::ask`
+    It asks the user to provide some value::
+
+        $io->ask('What is your name?');
+
+    You can pass the default value as the second argument so the user can simply
+    hit the <Enter> key to select that value::
+
+        $io->ask('Where are you from?', 'United States');
+
+    In case you need to validate the given value, pass a callback validator as
+    the third argument::
+
+        $io->ask('Number of workers to start', 1, function ($number) {
+            if (!is_integer($number)) {
+                throw new \RuntimeException('You must type an integer.');
+            }
+
+            return $number;
+        });
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::askHidden`
+    It's very similar to the ``ask()`` method but the user's input will be hidden
+    and it cannot define a default value. Use it when asking for sensitive information::
+
+        $io->askHidden('What is your password?');
+
+        // validates the given answer
+        $io->askHidden('What is your password?', function ($password) {
+            if (empty($password)) {
+                throw new \RuntimeException('Password cannot be empty.');
+            }
+
+            return $password;
+        });
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::confirm`
+    It asks a Yes/No question to the user and it only returns ``true`` or ``false``::
+
+        $io->confirm('Restart the web server?');
+
+    You can pass the default value as the second argument so the user can simply
+    hit the <Enter> key to select that value::
+
+        $io->confirm('Restart the web server?', true);
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::choice`
+    It asks a question whose answer is constrained to the given list of valid
+    answers::
+
+        $io->choice('Select the queue to analyze', array('queue1', 'queue2', 'queue3'));
+
+    You can pass the default value as the third argument so the user can simply
+    hit the <Enter> key to select that value::
+
+        $io->choice('Select the queue to analyze', array('queue1', 'queue2', 'queue3'), 'queue1');
+
+Result Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::success`
+    It displays the given string or array of strings highlighted as a successful
+    message (with a green background and the ``[OK]`` label). It's meant to be
+    used once to display the final result of executing the given command, but you
+    can use it repeatedly during the execution of the command::
+
+        // use simple strings for short success messages
+        $io->success('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long success messages
+        $io->success(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+        ));
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::warning`
+    It displays the given string or array of strings highlighted as a warning
+    message (with a read background and the ``[WARNING]`` label). It's meant to be
+    used once to display the final result of executing the given command, but you
+    can use it repeatedly during the execution of the command::
+
+        // use simple strings for short warning messages
+        $io->warning('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long warning messages
+        $io->warning(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+        ));
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface::error`
+    It displays the given string or array of strings highlighted as an error
+    message (with a read background and the ``[ERROR]`` label). It's meant to be
+    used once to display the final result of executing the given command, but you
+    can use it repeatedly during the execution of the command::
+
+        // use simple strings for short error messages
+        $io->error('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
+
+        // ...
+
+        // consider using arrays when displaying long error messages
+        $io->error(array(
+            'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
+            'Consectetur adipiscing elit',
+        ));
+
+Defining your Own Styles
+------------------------
+
+If you don't like the design of the commands that use the Symfony Style, you can
+define your own set of console styles. Just create a class that implements the
+:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Style\\StyleInterface`::
+
+    namespace AppBundle\Console;
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Style\StyleInterface;
+
+    class CustomStyle implements StyleInterface
+    {
+        // ...implement the methods of the interface
+    }
+
+Then, instantiate this custom class instead of the default ``SymfonyStyle`` in
+your commands. Thanks to the ``StyleInterface`` you won't need to change the code
+of your commands to change their appearance::
+
+    namespace AppBundle\Console;
+
+    use AppBundle\Console\CustomStyle;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Style\SymfonyStyle;
+
+    class GreetCommand extends ContainerAwareCommand
+    {
+        // ...
+
+        protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
+        {
+            // Before
+            // $io = new SymfonyStyle($input, $output);
+
+            // After
+            $io = new CustomStyle($input, $output);
+
+            // ...
+        }
+    }
